and paris' fourth birthday in 2002. to mike walker, senior editor of "the national enquirer," your thoughts? >> it just breaks your heart when you see that little girl. remember, it's the same thing that she said at the memorial service. i was there and i saw her. it just caught us all when she said "you're the best daddy in the whole wide world." anybody who has a daughter knows that that was a great father and that we can't take away from michael jackson. he was greatest father probably that ever lived. ♪ where did you come from baby

1:17 am
when you look at this video, any change of heart? >> no, not really. i was concerned because he dangled the baby over the side of the fourth floor balcony and that was clearly endangering the baby. looking at this video, i have some questions about it, frankly. you know, it looks as though paris is looking to the side. did someone teach her to say what she said? "daddy, you're the best daddy in the world." and then, you know, the other child says that. i mean, i don't know. i'm not saying that she didn't feel that about him. but for me it feels a little bit uncomfortable. it feels staged. and obviously he's very, very good at staging and theater. and even if it's real, it's making me very, very uncomfortable. especially the part where they sing about don't take my daddy away. what was the purpose of that song? >> that's right. gloria, this video was taken 1999, 2002. it was before the raid on
1:18 am
neverland and obviously before his criminal charges. let's go out to dr. lisa weinstock, psychologist. what do you have to say about what gloria just said and the aspect of possibly staging this video. is that what you see? or do you see love and a family >> it's hard. when i watched the video, it struck me like a lot of other videos you see of any other family. when people are videotaping a birthday party. there's always a staged piece to it, because they're staging a video. i think it's hard to know whether or not this is more staged than any other video. clearly, there were parts of the video that struck me as very normal when he was sitting down and helping the kids clean up the puzzle. all those were things i think there had been questioning about. you know, is he a typical father? what is he really doing with the kids? but, of course, it's such a small piece of these kids' lives that it's really harold to make any assumption of what that
1:19 am
means in terms of his parenting skills in general. >> let's go to firpo carr, jackson family friend. you knew the children. one thing that struck me is that forever michael jackson had his children with masks on when they would go out in public. now this video is released. they have no masks. your thoughts on all of that? >> well, there's a couple of things that i think are easy to be overlooked. one is that this video was not meant for public consumption. that's the first thing. secondly, it would be difficult for michael to stage -- reach from beyond the grave, how his daughter, paris, responded at the funeral. no, it's not staged at all. this is a genuine -- this is genuine love being shown by both michael and his children toward him. you also might notice that no one else is around. that is it's not a public party. you don't have any children of any rich or -- stars or anyone like that there. michael jackson had this in private. and he wanted it to stay in private. >> firpo, was that his way, was that his way to have an intimate family gathering without a lot of outside people? >> absolutely. especially when it comes to birthday parties. because that's not something he
1:20 am
enjoyed or he experienced as a child, being raised as one of jehovah's witnesses. of course, you notice, not even any family members were there. notice that. even his mother, katherine. so this was more of an education than a celebration. he wanted his children to know, hey, this is how it is to have a birthday party. later on, i'll give you the real deal behind the pagan roots in it. >> i have a watch. see! see! see! >> daddy, can i be on the next show? >> daddy, i can be on the next show? ki be
1:21 am
can i be on your next show's movie? >> are you going to act? >> yeah. >> what? >> are you going to say your lines? >> yeah. and i'm going to do this on the movie. >> me, too. i'm going to do this. >> blow out the candles. good! are you guilty of being nancy grace's number one fan? plead your case. send us your extraordinary story as to why you are nancy's biggest fan. we are looking for stories that stand out. if your e-mail or i-report is featured on air, you win an autographed copy of nancy's new book, "the eleventh victim" and a chance to meet her in new york city on the set. it would be very exciting. get your videocameras and e-mails ready. go to cnn.com/nancygrace. we'll be right back.

1:25 am
that's pretty. it says "prince." it is going to look so nice. i'm jean casarez of the legal network "in session" in for nancy grace tonight. that video you're watching, you're watching for the first time in its entirety. that portion right there shot in 2002, one year before the raid on neverland and the arrests, the criminal arrests of michael jackson. there was a big, big hearing in los angeles today for the michael jackson case. i want to go straight out to alan duke, a cnn producer standing by live in l.a. alan, you were in the courtroom for that hearing today. i want to hear everything, but i really want to hear about the attorney for dermatologist, dr. arnie klein, standing up in court. >> it was unexpected. it was somewhat bizarre. i think the judge was somewhat baffled, until he called for a -- well, the attorney called for a side bar conference where representatives from each of the legal teams went up to the judge's bench and found out what it was he was talking about. none of those lawyers are
1:26 am
telling us, tonight, why dr. klein sent an attorney to court to ask that he have some part in raising these children and making decisions about their education and their health care. he said that it's something that a, that michael said to dr. klein, that he wanted them involved in the children's lives if he ever were to be gone and that other people heard him say that, but that he has nothing in writing, and that he, in fact, the attorney, mark kaplan, said michael jackson is the presumptive parent of the two oldest children that were born to debbie rowe. and those are the children in question that he's talk about. >> and key word right there, presumptive parent. to eleanor dixon, prosecutor out of atlanta. okay, let's be real here. why did this attorney stand up in open court to put on the record that he wanted to be a part of the children's lives? this is the dermatologist that worked for michael jackson in treating him. he was debbie rowe's employer.
1:27 am
he also has said publicly he had donated sperm to a sperm bank. he can be a part of the children's lives if he wants to, why do it in court? >> that's interesting. you have to have what is kaulted standing to be part of the suit or whatever is going noncourt. so clearly, he has some kind of connection to what's happening and michael jackson beyond just a mere friend. ♪ i'll be there in the morning ♪ with kisses

1:36 am
beginning to his children, perseverance and confidence, and you can reach any goal, your heart's desires, but we also see his children singing to song "you are my sunshine" please don't make my daddy away. it was one year after that, that michael jackson was charged in the criminal case. just from a psychological standpoint, any coincidence there? >> you know, it's hard to know. the kids probably didn't know about the legal issues that michael jackson would have been facing. but it does make me question whether or not these kids were worried about what would happen if something happened to daddy. you know, if -- he was the only real caregiver there. then it would be normal that they would be scared, as any children are, about what would happen if their parents went away or if their parents died. there's something really tragic about hearing them sing that song and seeing what's actually happened to them, you know, many years later. >> very tragic, very ironic. let's go out to mindy in florida. hi, mindy. thanks for standing by. >> caller: thank you. i have a quick comment. and a quick question.
1:37 am
um, since katherine was given full custody of her grandchildren, can the children still have advocates appointed to them to keep joe jackson away from the children in case something happens to her? >> good question. to gloria allred. your thoughts. >> well, i think if -- she is guardian and she was appointed as the permanent guardian today, then it is her role to keep the children safe. therefore, if it's necessary to seek a restraining order, if she feels they're endangered, that's her job to do that and be an advocate for those children. >> are you surprised, gloria, a guardian ad litem was never appointed to represent the children and their interests? >> yes, i am. because a guardian ad litem was not appointed when debbie rowe attempted to relinquish her parental rights years ago, that was a basis for reversing that, for the court of appeals later, to find that she had not relinquished her parental rights
1:38 am
and still had them. so i'm wondering why a guardian ad litem was not appointed here. perhaps it was because there was no contested hearing. that is, there was no one else seeking to be the guardian of these children. >> that very well could be. the children signed a declaration saying they consented to this custody arrangement. out to michelle in georgia. good evening, michelle. >> caller: hello? >> yes, hi. your question? >> caller: thank you for taking my call. my question is, what type -- what kind of physical did michael jackson have? because the autopsy report said that he had visible signs of needle marks and collapsed veins. when the doctors who gave him that physical, wouldn't they have seen that? and if they did, how did he pass the physical? >> dr. zhongxue hua, medical examiner, union county, new jersey. what about that, when he was given his medical examine, that wasn't too far away from his death. couldn't they have seen needle
1:39 am
marks? >> they should. i mean, that's simple as that. it's not difficult to identify any needle mark, especially for a patient using chronic, using drugs. this case, you talking intravenous, giving drugs chronically. you would expect lots of needle marks. some are fresh, some are healing. >> to firpo carr. how do you think the children would feel, now public without masks? we saw it at the funeral, but how would he feel about that? >> he would think that that's fine. because it was debbie rowe's idea to put them in masks. it was not michael's idea. so he had no problem with that. i think that also going back to, as far as how his children would be treated, or something that gloria allred said, i think it was, my friend, gloria allred, i think we should keep in mind -- i don't know if something's coming in my ear here. it was not michael's idea at all that they should be -- i'm sorry --
1:40 am
>> all right. firpo, we will continue after the break. to tonight's safety tips on how to protect yourself from suspicious packages or mail. be cautious. if the letter or package looks questionable, notify a supervisor in the workplace or call 911 if you are at home. beware of letters with no return addresses, misspelled or badly labeled lettering, excessive postage, or letters that are sealed with tape. do not touch or open the package. isolate it immediately. if there is a suspicious substance, do not smell it, do not taste it, wash your hands right away. also, look out for packages with protruding wires or oily stains, discoloration, or even a strange odor. if you suspect an explosive or chemical threat, isolate the area right away, call 911. for more information, go to the u.s. postal service at usps.com. %

1:45 am
about custody? and also, what was determined as far as a family allowance? we're talking money. to the mother, the grandmother and the children? >> well, jean, pretty much what we expected. remember, the deal was announced last week between katherine jackson, michael jackson's mother, and debbie rowe, the mother of the two oldest children. the judge gave the go-ahead, approved the deal today, whereby katherine jackson is the guardian of all three children. debbie rowe does get visitation rights for her two children. she'll also maintain this spousal support. she'll continue to receive the spousal support she received when michael jackson was alive. now, some people have suggested this might be a monetary agreement. but the attorneys on both sides say no, this is not a monetary issue at all. that this was going to happen anyway. and that this is for the best interest of the children. that's why they're going to be with katherine. as far as an allowance, the estate -- the two attorneys -- or the one attorney and the music executive, john branca and
1:46 am
john mcclain, who are the handlers of the estate right now, they requested that the court give both katherine jackson and the children an allowance. we don't know exactly how much it was. one would suspect it's quite substantial, though. allowing them to pretty much maintain the lifestyles they've been maintaining before. the judge agreed to give katherine jackson 100% of the requested amount made by the executors. the children, i think, are going to get around 83%. the judge saying some of the money was duplicitous, meaning some of the money that would go to katherine jackson would also be going to the children, so -- >> let's talk about that right now. because money at the heart, and it should be, of so much of this. peter odom, attorney out of atlanta. when you look at the trust document, what we have heard is that 40% of the estate is to go to katherine jackson, 20% to the children -- 40% to the children, and 20% to charities. the children that we have been watching all hour in this video are going to be very, very wealthy. katherine jackson has issues with the administrators of the
1:47 am
estate. she wants to be a co-executor of this whole thing. the issue is not resolved yet. what do you think will happen? >> well, there's a clause in the will called "no contest clause" that says that certain contests brought by beneficiaries could actually result in that beneficiary losing benefits under the will. just looking at that, i think that katherine might be taking a risk in contesting the executors. but under california law, she'll probably end up with everything that she's entitled to under the will. but i don't think that she'll be able to be able to change the executors of the will. that's really up to the court to do that and katherine jackson really has no standing to be an executor or make those decisions. >> to melanie in ohio. hi, melanie. good evening. >> caller: i have a comment, then a question, please. as i have been watching this video of him and the children, and maybe this "daddy, daddy, daddy," maybe that was meaning something to michael because he was the only individual in their
1:48 am
life, and that he wanted. so maybe -- you know, that's reason for the emphasis on all the "daddy" with the children. my question being, will the children -- will they be staying at katherine's house or will they be able to go back to their own home? >> okay, good question. from what we understand, they're going to be at the jackson estate in encino, california. that is where they will be. but debbie rowe will have visitation. a psychologist will get involved to determine when and how that visitation should take place. to john lucich, former criminal investigator and president of high-tech crime network. as you look at this video, you see the children, you see them looking to the side, you see the interaction. as an investigator, what do you see in this video? >> you know, when you take a look at the children, they are truly beautiful, young, innocent children who just appear to love their father. but when you take a look at michael jackson, how he lived his life while he was dancing on top of the car during the allegations of child abuse, the
1:49 am
way he took drugs according to uri geller and other close friends of his, i don't think, like one of your other guests said, he was probably the greatest father that ever lived. i totally disagree with that. i think it's a part of being a parent to be a good role model. unfortunately, i don't think michael met that standard. >> okay. but we heard some things he said about perseverance and confidence and reaching your goal. to dr. lisa wienstock, psychiatrist. there are a lot of positive things about an endearing father in this video. >> in the video itself, certainly, there are a lot of pieces of evidence that make it seem like he's a loving, caring father. and, clearly, the kids look very happy and connected to him. but, again, you know, it's hard to make an assumption about what that means about their relationship in the bigger picture because it's only one small piece of their lives. and so i'd be hesitant to make an assumption either way that he
1:50 am
was the greatest father in the world or that he was the worst father in the world. >> but as firpo carr said, paris said the same thing at the funeral she said at this video time. are you nancy grace's number one fan? get your video cameras and e-mails ready and then send us your extraordinary story as to why you are nancy's biggest fan. we are looking for stories that stand out. if your e-mail or i-report is featured on air, you will win an autographed copy of nancy's book and have a chance to meet her on the set. go to cnn.com/nancygrace. "the eleventh victim" is her book. >> i want to thank you for all of the e-mails and call about my book. it comes out august 11th. you are the first to see it, of course, after lucy pictured here, who grabbed it first. it is about a prosecutor who tries her best to give up criminal law and start a new life, but when her friends are murdered, one by one, the nypd hones in on her. it took me years to write this
1:51 am
book. i started when i first left felony prosecution and i missed it so much. since then i wrote another book and published it. launched this show with my producer, dean, got married, got pregnant, gave birth, nearly died, didn't, and finished the book. i hope you like it. part of my proceeds go to a charity wesley glen who takes care of the mentally handicapped who needs a loving home. you can find this book on our website.

prince, i wish for you to learn about perseverance and confidence and the true meaning of success, which is love. and to know you can reach any goal that your heart desires. >> you have seen video tonight in its entirety for the first time. it is from slash news and intimate moments with michael jackson and his children. out to mike walker, senior editor of "national enquirer." you've had this hour to watch the video. your thoughts now as you've seen it several times? >> having seen it several time, i still don't believe this was staged any more than -- as somebody said any other video you'd do with children at a party. let me make one thing clear. one of your guests took me to task for saying michael was the greatest father in the world.
1:55 am
what happened at the top of the show, i suddenly got caught off by the music. i was leading up to a point. i was leading up to a "but." but i believe in the bottom of my heart and with all the investigation that we have done that michael jackson was a pedophile who had an unhealthy interest in young boys. okay? so he also was somebody who put his children in masks and took them out in public. and i'm stunned to hear carr say that was debbie rowe's idea and not michael's. since when does debbie rowe tell michael jackson what to do? we never heard that. >> and michael jackson was acquitted of criminal charges in his criminal trial back in 2005. very quickly, nicole, in california. good evening. >> caller: hi, how are you? >> fine, your question? >> caller: yes. since -- if dr. murray's charged with any crime, since he was hired by the aeg, could charges be filed against them? >> oh, right. first of all, he has not been charged yet. you are right. there is an investigation with aeg.
